Place offering temporary accommodation (6)

I believe the answer is:

hostel

(Other definitions for hostel that I've seen before include "Cheap lodging-house for young travellers" , "Cheap lodgings" , "Cheap accommodation for traveller or backpacker" , "Lodging-house for students, backpackers, etc." , "Temporary lodging" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
